CARDIFF, United Kingdom, Jun 5 – Gareth Bale led Wales to their first World Cup since 1958 as Ukraine’s dreams of lifting the spirits of a war-torn country were cruelly denied by a 1-0 defeat in Cardiff on Sunday. However, they were made to pay an exceptionally heavy price for not taking their chances and one moment of misfortune. Wales had barely threatened the Ukrainian goal, but in Bale have a star capable of changing the course of matches in an instant. Bale has reserved his best for international duty in recent years and will now get the chance to add a World Cup to a glorious career. The last time Wales were at a World Cup they were eliminated by a goal for Brazil by 17-year-old Pele in the quarter-finals.
